��i Elk River Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: ERMU Commission Mike Tietz —Technical Services Superintendent MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: April 11, 2023 6.1h SUBJECT: Staff Update ACTION REQUESTED: None DISCUSSION: • In March, the locators processed 269 locate tickets. These consisted of 220 normal tickets, 2 emergency tickets, 35 updated tickets, 3 cancellations, 3 meets, 5 non - excavation, and 1 boundary survey. This resulted in a 228.0% increase in tickets from the previous month and is a 17.7% decrease from the prior March. • Electrical technicians completed 184 service order tasks, updated the power bill, addressed customer meter issues and any off-peak concerns. • On March 30, staff ran generators #1, #2 & #3 with no issues. Earlier in the month, staff took the crankshaft web deflection measurements and inspected the crankcase on each of the generators. No changes or concerns were noted. • Technical services staff completed the replacement of our relay panel for both banks of the West substation on March 27. There was a substantial amount of effort that went into this project which took a little over a week to complete. Thank you to the team for all your efforts in making it go so smoothly! • Electrical Technician Jeff Murray and I attended a power quality training class put on by Power Monitors, Inc. on March 21 in White Bear Lake. This training was on how to best utilize our power quality recorders while performing power quality investigations. • We have been troubleshooting a malfunctioning line regulator along Highway 10 on the east side of town. This unit was rebuilt about a year ago and we are suspecting an internal part has broken. We will have to wait for the soil conditions to improve before we can remove it from service. Page 1 of 1 219
